Kenyan Government embarks on Sh8.5b Outer-ring Road works

Residents of Nairobi's Eastlands area are likely to pay slightly higher rents as the construction and dualling of Outer Ring Road commences. The development is expected to raise the value of property in Eastlands and surrounding areas.

Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has invited bids for the provision of consultancy services kicking off the construction project set to take three years. Construction of the road which starts from the Eastern bypass junction at Taj Mall up to Thika Road junction at GSU headquarters appears to be running behind schedule as it was supposed to have started three months ago.
